BENSON, Arizona, May 5.-The vol
canic eruption is pronounced genuine
from the MILESTONE mountains. Par
ties in on the train last night report
that the fire was seen coming forth
from the mountain. Lava and smoke
can be seen from the streets of Ben
son, nearly 20 miles from the disturb
ance. No one has yet personally in
spected the marvellous discovery, but
parties are arranging to go there in
private conveyances when particulars
will be learned. At first it was thought
to be woods on fire, but the constancy
of the burning, and the appearance at
night, indicates that it is a volcano,
caused by the earthquake yesterday.
Another volcano is said to be in ex-
istence in the Catalina mountains.
Smoke is now pouring forth from the
Whetstones. Authentic news this
moment comes from Wilcox, that
another volcano has made its appear
ance in the Winchester mountains,
about 40 miles from here. Six distinct
shocks of earthquake have been felt
here since this morning.
Tucson, A. T., May Sit is be-
lieved that a volcano is in active oper-
alton in the San Jose mountains, or on
the border of Sonora, Mexico, about
rs miles southwest OF here. Yester-
day afternoon a black curling smoke
was plainly visible. All last night
fires were intermittent, bursting into
a bright light, and then apparently
dying down, only to burst out again.
The true state of affairs are not known
here yet. From a private telegram
from Fort Huachuca this morning, it
was learned that General Forsyth,
commanding the post, would head an
investigating expedition.
Advices from Pantano show that
the earthquakes have been general
throughout Southern Arizona. In
Tucson, while no serious damage was
done, there is no part of the city but
shows its effects. 1t will be some time
before the effect of the earthquake in
the Santa Catalina mountains can be
learned, as the range is one of the
most rugged and difficult of access in
the Territory.
GUAYMAs, May 5.-Shocks were also
felt at Ures and Alamos, Sonora, and
Mocorite Sinaloa, and damaged the
church, and several buildings were
cracked at Ures. A portion OF the
western side of Cape Haro, the en-
trance to Guaymas bay, fell in. The
gull lighthouse was uniniured.
NoGALEs, A. T., May 4.-The first
earthquake yer experienced in this
place occurred yesterday afternoon,
lasting about one minute. The build
ings trembled and the people rushed
into the streets. The excitement for
some time was intense. The railroad
agent at Torres, Sonora. reports that
the highest cliff of the Chuate mount.
aims fell, causing a ~deafening noise,
and clouds of dust were seen for sew
eral miles.
NoGALEs, A. t., May 5.-Another
sharp shock of earthquake was expert
enced here at 6 O'Clock this evening.
No damage.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, May 5.-No
additional results of the earthquakes
have been developed in this immediate
vicinity. Albuquerque seems to have
been on the extreme northeast ex-
tremity Of the wave, which had nearly
spent its force before reaching here.
The shocks at Sabinal, about 40 miles
south of Albuquerque, were much more
severe than here. Two tremors were
felt, both in a northeast and south
west direction. The first one, at 3
O'Clock, producing a slight oscillation,
then came a pause of nearly a minute,
during which an ominous something"
in the atmosphere added a sensation
of s~uffocation to a feeling of awful sus-
pense. This was broken by a ter
rible vibration, which created the ut
most CONSERVATION among.the inhabit-
ants. Men, women, children and
inhabitants rushed precipitately to the
streets, and in numerous cases only in
time to escape with their lives from
tottering buildings. Sabinal is one of
the ancient relics of New Mexico
antiquity, and the adobe dwellings of
the natives were SO weakened by age
as to fall an easy prey to the earth
quake. A number OF them were
leveled to the ground, and the dam
age, although not great, in the value
of the buildings and household goods
destroyed, VIII prove a serious loss to
the poor families whose homes were
ruined. The Board of County Com
mlssioners were in session at the
time of the occurrence. The officers
and county fathers didn't take time
to go out the door, but went out
through the windows. Sheriff Bus
sell was one of the few who started out
the door, but was SO affected by the
shock that he required assistance, or
he would have fallen.
BENSON, Arizona, May 5.-The fol-
lowing telegram has just been received
from Fort Huachuca: A party has
just returned from the MILESTONE
mountains. The supposed volcano
has turned out to be a wood fire, set
by the Mexicans.
